If there had been a Syclone or a Typhoon in Fast and the Furious movie instead of the Surpa we would be sit'n pretty. Look at what that movie did for the price of Supras.

Sent the prices thru the roof. I paid more than I wanted for mine but it is all worth it. Searched high and low to find a clean, virgin, black, 6 speed TT. Talk about driving with a naked chick on the hood. Girls instantly want to be with you (unfortunately it is usually just as far as the passenger seat) and they are usually too young to be worth your time. But an attention getter for sure!!



The price is the only reason I dont own one. Syclones are much more affordable. I think..... Depends if Supras break just as much as our trucks do.

In general, they don't break. The stock trans and rear end can hold 600 whp and the crank, rods and pistons live as well. Some have been running around with as much as 750-800 whp with stock short block, trans and rear. That's pushing the limit on engine life but guys are doing it and driving them often. How the "over engineering" of these cars ever passed the bean counters is beyond me.

Speaking of engineering, I'd like to talk to the guys that made the decisions on our trucks as some things don't make sense to me ie: the intercooler that doesn't work until block temp is 205 and by that time you have either been on the boost and detonated enough to kick out the rods (ask how many warranty blocks were installed) or have heat soaked the system parts to make it very inefficient and my questions go on from there...

Most you guys lament how your SyTy doesn't run. Mine isn't here to drive. And it's starting to bug me. I'm beginning to drive like the old guy that I am. I want my boost back. I miss it.

Sooooo,

1. Just how old are you?

As far as wanting your boost back,

2. Which one, The 1 from being young ? or The 1 you get from the Turbo?

My Typhoon actually runs quite well, at present. And has had no issues for 8 months and 8K miles. But I'm suffering from "Fast Car" withdrawls, because it's been in storage in another State since June!

its the fact that there really isn't anything else like a sy/ty.. I can't think of many cars/trucks that are as violent/powerful and yet completely unrefined.

i was thinking about that yesterday when i was driving down the freeway with all the vibrations and uncommfy seats

What's sad is I still have to educate people on what they are - 15 years later. Most still don't understand.

well the turbobuicks have been around since 1978 starting with the carbed turbo car and ending with the I/C cars.


you should hear all the things the masses says when they look at the engine.


i have actually heard a man tell his wife that only the 87-88 grandnationals came with the turbo engine.
